Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked orzo
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup peas
  • 1/2 cup celery, diced
  • 1/2 cup onion, diced
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pie crust


Instructions

  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery, and sauté until softened.
  3. Stir in the shredded chicken, peas, and cooked orzo.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, chicken broth, and heavy cream until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet and stir to combine.
